Kutxabank Araski receives en Mendi al Lointek Gernika
The first Basque derby of the season is here. Matchday 3 of the Endesa Women’s League. Kutxabank Araski receives Lointek Gernika in Mendizorrotza. The Vitorian team arrives with good feelings after the great debut with victory against Zaragoza. Made Urieta’s team wants to confirm that good game to make it 2 out of 2 at home at the start of the season.
The duel between green and maroon will not be the first of this campaign. And they already faced each other in the Euskal Kopa, with victory for the Biscayans. However, this match has different tendencies. Kutxabank Araski arrives complete and motivated to get revenge. Canadian Sami Hill assures that “the key to winning is playing together, like we did against Zaragoza.”
Lointek Gernika has not managed to add any victories at the beginning. The Biscayan team has two defeats at home against Ensino and Estudiantes. With a young and renewed project, Gernika is led by Awa Fam, a national talent on loan from Valencia Basket. It has also added new faces such as Irati Etxarri, Taylor Mikesell, Kendra Chery and Elena Buenavida.
